NBA Labour Talks

It's funny to hear the players always talking about their love of the game, respect for the legends etc... when its painfully clear the only thing they care about is the money. They want 53% of the revenues... what buisness gives 53% of its profits to its workers, greedy bastards, 1 less ferrari a year

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

actually thats what they ve been offered if i am right. they want 52,5%(53%) though....
anyways you have a point... the ones really suffering from the lockout are those working around the nba.
lets hope for the best...

yeah this situation has def made me lose a lot of respect for many players, glad to see a lot of players saying fuck this and just going to other countries. sucks to see this happen to the nba though, really was looking forward to next season.

I dont understand how they will get Revenue share if they are getting salary, that means they are all going to get base salary of like $250k and then % cut of revenue for their contract, so who pays when the team has - year when fans dont go because the team sucks balls

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

why shouldn't the players get a big chunk of profits?? rofl

wtf

the average salary of all nba players is 6 million. If that's not a 'big chunk' of profits, I don't know what is. Add on top the owners are the people who are undertaking financial risk by running the organizations.
